Chen Tianqiao and his wife, Lu Qianqian, looked at each other for a long time, finally motioned with their eyes and nodded secretly.

"Mr. Ma, we agree to your conditions!" Chen Tianqiao said.

Ma Huateng smiled with joy and said, "Well, we will plan to sign the contract as soon as possible, and then start to promote "Legend"!"

Luo Qianqian turned his eyes at this time and asked, "Mr. Ma, Hongnian Internet Cafe Alliance is the property of Mr. Henry Williams, right? I think if every Internet cafe installs "Legend", this game will definitely be ready. It's hot!"

"ICQ and Hongnian Internet Cafe Alliance are not the same company, but the business of Hongnian Internet Cafe Alliance is indeed Henry Williams's industry. This Internet cafe alliance was established by Hongnian Technology Co., Ltd. with Hongnian Computer as a shareholder, and was established together with locals. Chain Internet cafes, there are about 3,000 Internet cafes nationwide..." Ma Huateng looked at them and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will tell Mr. Williams and ask him to help us!"

"This is great!" Chen Tianqiao said excitedly.

After sending away Ma Huateng, Chen Tianqiao and his wife looked at each other excitedly.

"Tianqiao, this time, Shanda is really going to take off!!" Luo Qianqian said.

"Yeah!" Chen Tianqiao nodded heavily, a stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he was full of hope for the future!

"However, it's a bit strange. Before, we have also looked for ICQ. It seems that they are not interested in our games, but this time they took the initiative to invest in us!" Chen Tianqiao doubted.

Luo Qianqian laughed, "Have you read the latest news?"

"What news? I'm so busy now, how come I still have time to watch the news..." Chen Tianqiao shook his head.

Luo Qianqian smiled and said simply: "Yesterday, Henry Williams went to Shenzhen!"

"Henry Williams went to Shenzhen?" Chen Tianqiao murmured and repeated, and suddenly he seemed to realize it, "Could it be..."

"That's right!" Luo Qianqian smiled, "Henry Williams must have taken a fancy to our Shanda Internet company, and this ordered Ma Huateng to invest in us!"

"Well, it should be like this!" Chen Tianqiao nodded and laughed suddenly, "It seems that Henry Williams is really insightful!!!"

Hearing this, Luo Qianqian couldn't help but "pounce" and laughed out loud, "Are you exaggerating yourself in disguise?"

"It was originally, I firmly believe that "Legend" will be a success!"

...

The next day, Ma Huateng came to Shanda Network again. This time, the two parties signed a contract directly.

After the signing of the contract, Ma Huateng said: "Chen, the headquarters of Shanda Networks has nothing precious, so I suggest that it is better to move to Shenzhen and stay in the same city with the parent company ICQ. This way, it will be convenient for the company. Management and operation!"

"Okay, that's okay." Chen Tianqiao said. Since the parent company ICQ requested so, Shanda Networks naturally has no reason to refuse.

In early May, Shanda Networks moved to Shenzhen.

Ma Huateng brought Chen Tianqiao and his wife to ICQ to meet Henry.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!" Chen Tianqiao and his wife said in unison.

"Please sit down!" Henry couldn't help but look at the legendary figure in his previous life. Chen Tianqiao was not tall, slightly fatter, and had a calm personality. And his wife, Lu Qianqian, has a good body, a handsome face, a high-learning, and a beautiful temperament.

Henry was not interested in his wife, just glanced at it, then turned to look at Chen Tianqiao, and asked: "Chen Tianqiao, now that you have the funds, how do you plan to promote the game? In addition, how do you make money from the game? !"

"Mr. Williams, I think the game is free at first, which attracts a large number of players. Later, when there are more players and they like this game, we will charge again!"

"Very good, please keep talking!" Henry nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, Mr. Williams. The charging model of "Legend" is completely different from that of traditional games. "Legend" is charged according to the length of the game!"

Ma Huateng was a little dumbfounded on the side, "Mr. Chen, are you right? Charges are based on the length of the game?"

"Yes, that's right, it's based on the length of the game!"

Chen Tianqiao replied in a very affirmative tone. At the same time, looking at Henry, Ma Huateng's questioning had a tricky effect. Henry was the real decision maker!

Bang bang bang! ! !

Henry applauded and smiled: "Very good, almost coincides with me!"

With that said, Henry handed Chen Tianqiao and his wife and Ma Huateng a document with the title "On the operating model of "Legend"." It contains not only what Chen Tianqiao just said, but it is also more detailed. Because of the immaturity of China's Internet e-commerce and third-party payment market, most Chinese netizens do not know how to use PayPal. Therefore, although it is possible to purchase game time directly through PayPal, it is still necessary to launch a "game point card". The game point card designed by Henry is an ordinary card with an account number on it and a password set by the player. The card is sold by a local Internet cafe. Players who do not use PayPal can recharge the card if they want to find the Internet cafe to help them recharge. You have money in your account, and then you can play the game by buying game time! In fact, "Game Dianka" is a kind of "offline PayPal" in disguised form. You can log in to the PayPal system directly using the account and password of "Game Dianka".

The Internet cafe’s "game point card" recharge to the player is actually transferred to it using the Internet cafe’s PayPal. The only difference is that the Internet cafe can get a commission! Otherwise, Internet cafes are not willing to be too busy for nothing...

Henry's ambitions are huge. Using "Game Point Card", he can train all "Legend" players to become Paypal users, and more than that, "Game Point Card" solves the current payment problem, and it is bound to be chosen by other game companies. In this way, all gamers may become PayPal users. If Jack Ma launches Alipay in the future, he really doesn’t know how he can play?

Chen Tianqiao and his wife and Ma Huateng are both smart people. After seeing them, they are deeply impressed by them! The three of them looked at Henry with different gazes. In the past, they always heard that Henry Williams is a peerless genius. He still didn't believe it. When I saw him today, he was really a genius. No wonder he could become the richest man in the world!

"Mr. Williams, the game time can be purchased not only by the hour, but also for annual, monthly and weekly subscriptions. This idea is very good! The price of annual and monthly subscriptions is much cheaper. I believe many people will choose these two. In this way, we can quickly gather a large amount of funds. With funds, we can go to South Korea to represent the game!!!" Chen Tianqiao said excitedly.

"You can't always look for Korean agent games. Do you want Korean online games to dominate the Chinese market?"

Henry shook his head. In his previous life, Shanda didn't have a decent game development team at all. As a result, it failed to represent a good game, so it was "dogs"!

When Henry said this, Chen Tianqiao's face was reddened, and the agent game is very easy, no one finds it troublesome, isn't it? Moreover, the risk of developing games is too great. What if gamers who work hard and spend a lot of money on development do not buy it? Isn't it just a slap in the water? Therefore, in China, there are not many companies that develop their own games! Henry knew that since the "Legend" went viral, all game companies have followed suit, and they have all gone to South Korea to represent games, causing Chinese games to be conquered by South Korean games, while domestic games have fallen apart and collapsed...

Henry continued: "The agency game is only for a while. How can you rely on other game companies to live? This is like placing hope on other people. If the other party becomes unreliable one day, won't you be finished? So, hit the iron. You still need to be **** your own. In addition to acting for other games in the future, Shanda must form its own game development team!"

"Mr. Williams, I have been taught, please follow your lesson!" Chen Tianqiao couldn't help lowering his head and said in a deep voice.

Henry waved his hand and smiled, "It's May now, and preparations and promotion will take a while, probably...in July, "Legend" will be released, and then run for free for one month, and start charging in August! Hong I have notified them of Internet Cafe Alliance, ICQ, and PayPal in 2009. You will contact them afterwards and cooperate in total!"

"Yes!" Chen Tianqiao nodded in response.

"Okay, let's do it, you just arrived in Shenzhen, and you are struggling with your boats and cars, so let's go back and rest first!"

"Thank you Mr. Williams!"

Henry watched them away, and then turned on the computer to go online alone. At this moment Henry wants to build a Chinese novel website, but lacks a team. And he is now looking for an acquisition target. At the same time, he also understands the ups and downs of the Chinese Internet in recent years!

"The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu!"

In 1988, the Golden House website was the most famous, known as "I don't know Golden Book House when I read online, and it is useless to call it a networm"! At that time, the Golden House had already monopolized the Chinese market. If there were no accidents, I am afraid that there would be no starting point for the Chinese website of the previous life! Unfortunately, capital intervention changed the trajectory of fate.

In December 1999, Duolaimi Chinese.com acquired 16 of the top 20 personal websites in NetEase's personal website rankings at a price of RMB 4 million. Including the famous domestic websites such as Golden Book House, China Football Net, Haikuo Sky Download, Xiaolin Guangji and so on. After the acquisition of Golden Bookstore, due to copyright considerations, it did not dare to let go of plagiarism and copying too much in operation. Many readable works could not be included, but there were not many originals, which caused the gradual loss of readers and took the initiative to give up. The supremacy of online book sites.

The rich were reserved, saying what was authentic in China, and ended up smashing themselves to death.

At this time, Boku was established in Silicon Valley, with American industrial capital and wealth. Once it came to China, it carried out overwhelming advertising in the major media, and then cooperated with China Youth Publishing House, Peking University and other units to launch "The Yellow River", Activities such as the "Dunhuang Tour" created great momentum. Later, in addition to the acquisition of a large number of electronic copyrights of works, in the name of cultivating China's "Stephen King", he signed contracts with a large number of writers such as Wang Shuo and Chen Cun. However, Boku’s operating model is paid downloads and paid readings. In the current Internet environment of piracy, China’s Internet environment is naturally out of place, so it went bankrupt at the end of the year. The most terrible thing is that in 1999, there were not many Internet users in China, and there was no convenient payment method! Henry launched the "offline PayPal" point card this time. This is different. First of all, it can solve the payment problem. Second, the Internet users have greatly increased in 2001, and the conditions for charging and reading are mature.

The website that Henry is currently browsing is "Dragon Sky". "Dragon Sky" relies on stable space and accumulated popularity in Xilu bbs to quickly fill the space left by the Golden Bookstore and become the well-deserved boss of the fantasy book station! However, Henry knew that the true man of the past life was not it!

At the moment, with the increase of traffic, Longkong’s server resources appear to be insufficient, and the access speed is getting slower and slower, starting to reach an unbearable point. It also makes its popularity slowly decline, and its leading brother status is increasingly affected. Many challenges.

In order to get rid of the predicament, Dragon Sky has two development directions. One is to invest funds to purchase new servers and expand the Dragon Sky website, which can maintain a monopoly on the Internet, but the prospects are unclear; the other is to abandon the development of the website and take the entity. Book publishing route. As for the result, Henry naturally knew that Dragon Sky chose the latter, which can be said to hand over to Jiangshan!

"The founder of Qidian.com.cn seems to be Bao Jianfeng. It would be best if the original founding team manages the company..." Henry murmured.

In his previous life, Henry often browsed the Chinese website of the starting point. In addition, as an engineer, he also studied the second version of the improved version of the website, because this revision is the most successful revision in the history of online literature. Other literary websites have plagiarized, almost 80%. The interface and the starting point are the same. At the same time, Henry also witnessed the rise of the starting point. The early starting point has been dangerous many times, but each time it was turned around by a best-selling book! The issue of visa transfer in October 2003 can be said to be the most serious crisis since the starting point was established. When the VIP road at the starting point was in desperation, the toad who had just wandered to the starting point saved the starting point. The hot sale of "Tianpeng" brought a large number of members to the starting point, and finally overcame the difficulties.

In 2004, the craze for online game novels on the Chinese website of Qidian came quietly and dominated the new book list. As a result, other types of new books had no chance of getting their heads out, so they were quietly poached by other websites. The reason why these online game books are so powerful is actually behind the scenes, because the starting point's competitors uniformly teach new authors how to write online games and how to list. All these works can basically be on the new book list! ! !

Secret arrows are hard to guard!

Too many online game novels cause aesthetic fatigue, and naturally VIP subscriptions are low. Starting point Chinese website has been developing slowly for a while, and it is about to be overtaken! However, at this moment, "The Way of the Rising Dragon" was born-"When the Rising Dragon comes out, who will fight for the peak", since the day that the Rising Dragon was launched, it has continuously refreshed the records of the starting point VIP! After that, Shanda acquired the starting point, crushed other literary websites with unparalleled financial resources, and blatantly stated that if you refuse to accept it, you will accept you, and finally dominate online literature!

Henry quickly found Bao Jianfeng on the Internet and joined his ICQ book friend group. No way, Bao Jianfeng was a bit awesome in 2001, and he just created the online novel "Legend of Magic Knight Heroes", which became one of the most popular works of early online fantasy literature.

"Hello, are you Bao Jianfeng?!"

The name of Henry's ICQ is Williams, and there are many people who take this name for ICQ in the world, and many in China, just like many people in previous lives changed their ID to "Bill Gates".

"Yes, I am Bao Jianfeng, and you are welcome to join the "Legend of Magic Knight Heroes" book friend group!"

At this time, a prompt message of a video pop-up window is displayed on the ICQ.

Bao Jianfeng suddenly hesitated, and started the video without saying a word, is it appropriate?

Bao Jianfeng thought for a while, and finally opened the video. However, when he saw the face in the video, Bao Jianfeng was stunned~lightnovelpub.net~You, are you Henry Williams? "At this moment, Bao Jianfeng was so shocked that he couldn't even speak coherently.

"Yes, it's me." Henry smiled at him.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, it is my honor to be able to share the video with you! Excuse me, are you looking for me?"

"Yes!" Henry nodded and said, "This is how I am going to build a website, and I plan to invite you to join..."

Bao Jianfeng was shocked, thinking that my book is so good that even the richest man in the world likes to read it (Henry said he hasn't read it), and he came to dig himself personally. I was so touched, so touched. Now, in response to Henry Williams’ attitude of a courteous corporal, my next new book will only be published on their website! ! !

Bao Jianfeng's gaze suddenly became very firm.

"Bao Jianfeng, can you bring some of your like-minded friends to come with you?"

"No problem, Mr. Williams, don't worry, I know a lot of friends, and I am planning to set up a fantasy literature club together!"

"Hehe, that's all right, then pull them all over! This is my phone number: XXXXXXXXX. When you get in touch, call me!"

"Ok!"

The video call ends.

With a look of excitement and excitement on his face, Bao Jianfeng picked up his phone without iteration and began to call his friend...
